Hello Lindsay, I don't have a /etc/hosts. When I run hostname it says 'debian'. Same iwth hostname -f. Obviously this is my fault during setup. I'm sure I pressed the enter key without knowing full well what I was reading. Now, that being the case, how do I change my hostname AND give my server a name that apache will recognize? Thanks Andre
